Extraction,isolation, and identification of various environment friendly components from cock's comb (Celosia argentea) leaves for allelopathic potential

In this study, the aqueous extract of leaves of the plant cock's comb (Celosia argentea) was fractioned into five batches using n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol, respectively. High performance liquid chromatography analysis of the methanol re-dissolved residues of 3 polar fractions, including dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol separately which exhibited altogether 12 compounds identified as 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (p-coumaric acid), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, caffeic acid, m-coumaric acid, gallic acid, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, m-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, pyrogallol, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and genetic acid was categorized by retention time using known compounds. Similarly, the mass confirmation of most of the identified compounds was achieved by injecting 20 µl of composite sample of these three polar fractions into liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Similarly, the physiochemical analysis of C. argentea aqueous extract showed the presence of various constituents such as phenols, flavonoids, tannins, and glycosides. All four organic fractions were examined for phytotoxicity against Lepidium sativum. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among these fractions against germination and growth of L. sativum. Further allelopathic effects appeared to be concentration dependent. Thus, C. argentea may prove effective as a substitute of herbicides to control the weeds like L. sativum from attacking crops and to protect the environment from the health hazard effects of herbicides.     

The multifunctionality of the natural environment through the basic ecosystem services in the Florina region,Greece

Until the last decade, protecting the environment was seen as a factor contributing to human well-being, and conservation of natural ecosystems was considered to be one of the most important factors of environmental protection. Numerous studies have dealt with the benefits of natural ecosystems and in recent years even more so with ecosystem services, as well as interactions of ecosystem services with each other and with the urban and peri-urban environment. This paper suggests an approach to the spatial unity of the Florina region using basic ecosystem services identified by land use. The aim was, first, to describe the spatial distribution of basic ecosystem services and their interactions and, second, to investigate whether they form important statistical correlations with the basic features of the prefecture. A 1 km × 1 km analysis of 10 ecosystem services covering the surface of the prefecture was carried out.     

Organic carbon and environmental quality of riverine and off-shore sediments from the Gulf of Cádiz,Spain

Here we show that heavy metal geoaccumulation is apparent in the Tinto and Odiel estuary and, at a lower magnitude, in off-shore sediments. Values above probable effects level (PEL) are recorded for As, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn in the Tinto and Odiel estuary, for As and Hg in the associated off-shore sediments and for As in the Guadiana River. Significant correlations were found between total organic carbon (TOC) and Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn in the Tinto and Odiel estuary, and Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Hg and As in the Guadiana River. PCA analysis differentiated the three studied locations.

Inferring Hydrograph Components from Rainfall and Streamflow Records Using a Kriging Method-Based Linear Cascade Reservoir Model1

Cheng, Shin-jen, 2010. Inferring Hydrograph Components From Rainfall and Streamflow Records Using a Kriging Method-Based Linear Cascade Reservoir Model. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 46(6):1171–1191. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752-1688.2010.00484.x Abstract: This study investigates the characteristics of hydrograph components in a Taiwan watershed to determine their shapes based on observations. Hydrographs were modeled by a conceptual model of three linear cascade reservoirs. Mean rainfall was calculated using the block Kriging method. The optimal parameters for 42 events from 1966-2008 were calibrated using an optimal algorithm. Rationality of generated runoffs was well compared with a trusty model. Model efficacy was verified using seven averaged parameters with 25 other events. Hydrograph components were characterized based on 42 calibration results. The following conclusions were obtained: (1) except for multipeak storms, a correlation between base time of the surface runoff and soil antecedent moisture is a decreasing power relationship; (2) a correlation between time lag of the surface flow and soil antecedent moisture for single-peak storms is an increasing power relationship; (3) for single-peak events, times to peak of hydrograph components are an increasing power correlation corresponding to the peak time of rainfall; (4) the peak flows of hydrograph components are linearly proportional to that of total runoff, and the peak ratio for the surface runoff to total runoff is approximately 78 and 13% for subsurface runoff to total runoff; and (5) the relationships of total discharges have direct ratios between hydrograph components and observations of total runoffs, and a surface runoff is 60 and 32% for a subsurface runoff.     

塔里木盆地北缘绿洲4种土地利用方式土壤有机碳组分分布特征及其与土壤环境因子的关系

为明确干旱区土壤有机碳各组分分布状况,进而合理地开发与利用,解决土地利用效率低下问题,以塔里木盆地北缘盐碱地、天然林、沙地、30 a棉田这4种不同土地利用方式土壤为研究对象,分析不同土地利用方式土壤有机碳、微生物量碳、可溶性有机碳、易氧化有机碳的分布状况,结合冗余分析探索其与土壤环境因子的关系.结果表明,SOC在天然林表现出最高值(1.92 g·kg~(-1)),在沙地随土层增加而增加,在其他土地利用类型整体呈现下降趋势;MBC在天然林表现出最高水平,且随土层深度增加而降低,在其他土地利用类型无明显变化趋势.DOC含量最高值和最低值分别出现在天然林和30 a棉田的80~100 cm层(分别为143.23 mg·kg~(-1)和30.00 mg·kg~(-1)),在天然林中随土层深度增加而增加,在盐碱地中随土层深度增加而降低且不同土层含量均表现出显著差异(P0.05).EOC含量在不同土地利用类型和不同土层中未表现出明显规律.将各有机碳组分进行敏感性分析得出:MBC对不同土层最为敏感,DOC对土地利用变化最为敏感.通过冗余分析得出各有机碳组分与土壤含水量、全氮、p H呈正相关关系,与土壤容重、电导率呈负相关关系.土壤环境因子对各碳组分含量的重要性排序为:土壤容重含水量电导率土壤氮p H,即容重和含水量为影响干旱区有机碳组分的主要因子.     

湖泊水质时空变化特征识别的贝叶斯方差分析方法

精细识别湖泊水质的时空变化特征是确定流域污染调控措施的基础.贝叶斯方差分析具有灵活的模型结构,可直接表征变量的时空动态特征.本文据此提出了基于该方法的湖泊水质时空变化特征识别的方法框架,研究了异龙湖稳态转换条件下富营养化指标的变化特征和滇池外海特征污染物达标率的时空变化2个案例,验证了该方法在总体服从正态分布和二项分布时的适用性.针对参数可交换性假设被忽视的问题,本文提出了一种基于模型选择准则的判定方法,并将其应用于滇池案例中.结果表明:(1)相对于清水稳态,异龙湖在浊水稳态时3种富营养化指标浓度更高,且年际方差所占总方差比例减小;(2)滇池外海总氮浓度超标率由2007—2013年间的40%左右降到2014—2016年间的10%左右,且波动性降低.随着监测数据的积累和监测时空精度的增加,贝叶斯方差分析在湖泊水质时空变化特征识别中具有广阔的应用前景.
